PNP. The cork was amazing with no hint dampness - it looked perfect which left me with a lot of anticipation. Sadly I was disappointed. The colour was extremely light with a clear edge. Initially it tasted very port-like. After 30 minutes is opened up a bit with very soft flavours and bouquet that continued to smell like port. Possibly an off bottle. NR

6 of us enjoyed a fav old haunt, Tilia in south Minneapolis's quaint Lynden Hills neighborhood tonight. CV,DM,LI,JG, SS & MA. Mark's glorious btl from a Mag. Anticipated this would be good & it exceeded my expectations. The format added an extra layer of purity & depth. The arrival of our short rib course sealed the deal. 25+ yrs in btl finds this in the pocket and drinking superbly. There's zen balance here with a tasty array of raspberry, plum, mineral, meat, licorice on the palate. Aromas of berries, cedar & forest floor. At first the Beau felt a bit weighty coming on the heels of our Burg last flight sips but, the short rib magically erased the short awkward transition from the more lifted & svelte Burgs. This really blossomed with the short rib pairing. 94+ Thanks Mark!

From 375. Port notes dominate the nose and palate. Disappointing

Consistent with the last bottle. All the sharp edges have been smoothed out. Elegant and delicate. Needed 45 minutes and continued to open in the glass.
